Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?
He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
If thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the Lord.
To obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
